Ten Years From a Minute

Lyrics

[Verse 1] "Hey guy, got a smoke to spare?" "No, ma'am, but give me a minute there…" That minute stretched to ten long years, Through all the laughter, all the tears. Some said new love fades after sixty and one, But we just laughed and proved 'em wrong. [Chorus] Oh, my Viking, strength under fire, The truth and the loyalty I'll never tire. Through every hard knock, every fall, You stood beside me through it all. Donn Royal Rust, my whole life through, There's no one, no one, quite like you. [Verse 2] He IDs as Texan, with a lower voice and soft drawl, We live now in Oregon in the expansive valley. A beer chase and a shot in your hand, When gin makes me crazy, you understand. An interesting life, so large and full, A partner truer than gold or pull. [Chorus] Oh, my Viking, strength under fire, The truth and the loyalty I'll never tire. Through every hard knock, every fall, You stood beside me through it all. Donn Royal Rust, my whole life through, There's no one, no one, quite like you. [Bridge] The years may whisper, time may bend, But I choose you until life's end. Determination in your bones, You've made this valley feel like home. [Verse 3] Debra and Donn, forever bound, Devotion in the love we found. Whatever storms the days may bring, Together we can weather anything. Family and faith, this steady flame, I'd walk it all again the same. [Chorus] Oh, my Viking, strength under fire, The truth and the loyalty I'll never tire. Through every hard knock, every fall, You stood beside me through it all. [Outro] Donn Royal Rust, my heart, my friend, I'll love you till life's very end.
